How does it all get done?
Many people often ask me how I manage to accomplish all that I do in the amount of time that I do it and with everything else that is going on in my life. Up until now I have always responded with the answer, "I don't know. It just gets done".
While chatting with James this evening I think I realized how it actually gets completed. It really boils down to two things a sprinkle of energy and a spoonful of passion. I love what I do and if I did not I would not be doing it. I have always told my self that if I am not having fun with what I do then I need to change what I am doing. While I tend to have a lot of energy I try not to always spend this energy on one area for too long, if I realize that I am stuck on something I try to change up the pace a little and focus on something else, that way I am not not just wasting energy. There are times when I really don't feel like doing much, so I might relax for a few on the floor or maybe the couch, then eventually I get up, go into the kitchen, and take a spoonful of passion. This passion is what drives me day in and day out to be successful with what I do.
Finally, when I am not writing code, thinking about code, dreaming about code, or relaxing with a book about code, you can usually find me on the playing ice or roller hockey, biking, climbing, or hanging out with my fiancé.
BTW: Imported teas are really the true secret to my late night success.
